A friend just sent this, and I love it. Happy New Year, and God-speed with all the great stuff you're doing.

Dusting

Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

'A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture '

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just 
perfect - 'in case someone came over'

Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living 
life and having fun!

NOW, when people visit,  I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home. 

They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I 
was away living life and having fun.

If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice.

Life is short.   Enjoy it!


Dust if you must ....... but wouldn't it be better 

to paint a picture or write a letter,

bake cookies, lick the spoon, or plant a seed,

ponder the difference between want and need?!


Dust if you must, but there's not much time . . . .

with bubbles to drink, rivers to swim and mountains to climb ,

music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.


Dust if you must, but the world's out there 

with the sun in your eyes,  the wind in your hair,

a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.

This day will not come around, again.


Dust if you must, but bear in mind, 

old age will come and it's not kind. . .

And when you go - and go you must - 

you, yourself will make more dust!
